Why Choose Mass General Imaging?

Specialty expertise

Every scan is interpreted by a radiologist with specialty training in the area of the body being studied. Specialists are capable of seeing and understanding subtle things thanks to advanced training and singular focus.

Safety

Along with making the diagnosis, ensuring patient safety is our top priority. We pay special attention to minimizing radiation exposure—without giving up image quality.

Convenience

Our network of Massachusetts locations offers convenient access to a full range of imaging services. Most of our community facilities offer evening and weekend appointments, free parking, and easy access from major routes.

Leading-edge technology

We not only adopt the latest advances in technology, such as intraoperative MRI and CT, but also work with manufacturers to define future improvements. We employ full-time physicists to independently check scanner functions, especially for scanners that produce ionizing radiation, such as CT machines.

Compassionate care

Experience and history

We perform more than 600,000 exams per year across all types of imaging technology. And with roots dating back to 1896 and the creation of one of the first X-ray images in the United States, we have a long history of providing high-quality patient care.
